What is the main idea behind pyrolysis?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
6 0

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

Why doesn’t alcohol freeze?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Because it's a combination of chemicals, vodka doesn't freeze at the same temperature as either water or alcohol. Of course, vodka will freeze, but not at the temperature of an ordinary freezer. This is because vodka contains enough alcohol to lower the freezing point of water below the -17°C of your typical freezer.

A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading four seconds after launch is shown a
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Question 1: <u>1 s after the motion starts</u>

Question 2: <u>0 (just when the motion starts)</u>

Explanation:

You will need to work with approximates values because the precision of the speedometers is low and you are requested to find approximate times.

<u>1. From the speedometer shown at the right.</u>

You can obtain how long the ball has been falling from the highest altitute it reached using the speed of 10 m/s shown by the speedometer at the right.

  • Free fall equation: Vf = Vo - gt

  • Vo = 0 ⇒ Vf = gt ⇒ t = Vf / g

For this problem, I recommend to work with a rough estimate of g: g = 10 m/s² ( I will tell you why soon)/

  • t = [10 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

That is the time falling. Since four seconds after launch have elapsed, the upward time was 3 seconds. This will let you to calculate the launching speed.

<u>2. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 20 m/s</u>

First, calculate the launching speed:

  • Vf = Vo - gt

Since the ball was 3 seconds going upward and the speed at the maximum altitude is 0 you get:

  • 0 = Vo - gt

   

  • Vo = gt = 10 m/s² × 3 s = 30 m/s

Now, use the initial velocity to calculate when the ball is going upward with the speedometer reading is 20 m/s

  • 20 m/s = 30 m/s - 10 m/s² × t

  • t = [ 30 m/s - 20 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

Thus, the first answer is t = 1 s.

<u />

<u>3. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 30 m/s</u>

This is the same speec estimated for the launching: 30 m/s.

So, this reading corresponds to the moment when the ball was launched.

Thus time is 0, i.e. it is the same instant of the launch.

If you had worked with g = 9.80 m/s², the time had been negative. This is due to the precision of the instruments.

That is why I recommended to work with g = 10 m/s².
